But he has always been fixated on numbers or certain numbers and whatever he saw in those numbers seems to have shaken him.
Also the other day when be said something about he enjoyed being our president or something like that I thought he knew that this will end his presidency.

Remember Burx and Fauci said 100-200...200,000...IF we do everything right. Everything.

Politics aside this is just astounding.

Add one or two more Zeros onto those numbers when it’s lol done...

Other states from CA and NY and WA will do much much worse....and those states Governors (Hello Trump ass kissing DeSantis and others like him, will have the most dead per capital).

The “lots of testing” comments is all bullshit...

There won’t be enough Ventilators for American citizens and the month that Trump and his administration let slip from Early February through early/Mid March will be responsible for these deaths by at least 90%

And you can bet that Trump with Barr’s help will pull a Victor Urban in next months

I feel sick....

Drs. Fauci and Birx must have to tie Chump to his chair and beat their models and statistics into him. Looks like they're finally getting through to him, even if just a little.

LOL - Chump is projecting again: "What would have happened if we did nothing?" Well, Jerkoff, had it been totally up to you, we would have found out.

MoscowMitch admitted trump screwed up. Sure, he made up some bs excuse, but in essence he was saying trump screwed up.

People are dying, and it isn't just dems. And the death rates are spiraling out of control in red states, and even without testing, people know whats causing it.

And trump won't act. Despite what he says, he is still not allowing anything to be done.

Of course the staff is on a death march.

I've been saying for sometime they cannot blow obituaries off as fake news.

There may be a bunch of ignorant deadhead MAGAts in the red states but when their loved ones get packed into a body bag and tossed in the back of a refrigerator truck, they're going to have feelings about that and wonder why it had to happen to them just like the rest of us. Trump cannot escape the blame a number of them will conclude.

He called on Jim Acosta on two different occasions and Acosta was very um straightforward with him. No vitriol from either (Trump took a small shot at CNN).

Birx and Fauci spelled out - 100,000 to 200,000 (I typed that out for a reason) deaths and that’s in April. That’s if we do everything right. The next two weeks are going to be really really really bad. I read elsewhere here that the WH internally thinks maybe 400,000.

Also noted here, Acosta said that that if Trump is freaked out it’s bad.
